I was once told that if I chose to pursue clay I would never get bored. Clay’s ability to be worked and reworked, thrown, cast, moulded and printed provides an almost tireless range of options. This capacity for rediscovery is something I hold close, am inspired by and deploy in my artistic practice too. I often work with modular units or pieces that interconnect. This allows for a stage, or multiple stages, of curation and composition that speaks to the capacities of clay and also excites me. Clay has become a predominant material for me and this choice to lead a life aware and in pursuit of material understanding extends to my perception of the world. At present I work in a sculptural capacity and see my work as a way of dissecting and working through my lived experience. The relevance of which feeds into a broader conceptual landscape and conversation around the mind and mental health and the relation of our bodies to the material and technological world.
